You have to find the angle of sunlight and the pole , which then cast a shadow
length of the pole is equal to 3.1m
creating a hypotenuse of 4.52m
the angle will be
[email protected] = opposite side / hypotenuse
= 1.46/4.52
= 0.32 that's 18.66 °
now for the building sin18.66° = opposite/hypotenuse
0.32 = 36.75/ hypotenuse
hypotenuse = 114.84 m
thus using Pythagoras theorem
114.84*114.84 = 36.75*36.75 + x^2
which comes around = 108.8 roughly 109 metres long

Answer:

Finding the product of 9, 10 and 9 ; 810

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Length = 10 feets

Width = 9 feets

Height = 9 feets

The volume of a rectangular prism is obtained by :

Length * width * height

The volume could be obtained by taking the product of 10, 9 and 9

Hence, the volume of the rectangular prism is :

(10 * 9 * 9) feet³ = 810 feet³

Number of 1 feet³ boxes = 810 feet³ / 1 feet³ = 810

Are these rates equivalent, 96 words typed for 3 minutes; 160 words typed for 5 minutes
monitta
<h2>Greetings</h2>

Answer:

Yes, they are.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>1st rate)</h3>

Lets simplify both rates to the rate typer per minute.

(m is minutes)

3m = 96

Divide both sides by 3:

\frac{3m}{3} = \frac{96}{3}

m = 32

So the rate is 32 words per minute.

<h3>2nd rate</h3>

5m = 160

Divide both sides by 5:

\frac{5m}{5} = \frac{160}{5}

m = 32

<h3>So because the rates per minute are the same, they are equivalent.</h3>
<h2>Hope this helps!</h2>
